Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

L.C.S Limited, Office 3, Level 2, Sterling Building Enrico Mizzi Street, TA' XBIEX, XBX 1453, Malta, has violated the conditions set by the Malta Gaming Authority regarding "Player Protection."

L.C.S Limited has been made aware of my gambling addiction multiple times. I can provide this information separately to your email address.

This notification was sent to the central email address of L.C.S Limited (info@lcsltdeu.com). This means that not only have the individual sites been informed about the gambling addiction, but the central entity of the entire organization, L.C.S Limited, has been notified as well. As a result of this awareness, L.C.S Limited should not have allowed any further activities from me, irrespective of the website. All gambling activities should have been entirely prevented.


I quote the Malta Gaming Authority and a significant part of the licensing conditions: "If multiple brands are operated under separate registrations, the operator must ensure the exclusion request applies to all brands. A self-exclusion request must be applicable to all operated brands if there are sufficient indications that the player may have issues with gambling. During a self-exclusion period, players must not access gaming services, but they may not be prevented from withdrawing funds."

Please note the following additional guidelines:

"Operators must have effective and regularly updated policies and procedures to promote responsible gambling. These should consider the products offered and any associated risks. Such policies must include a variety of measures to detect and identify problem gambling, and any actions or behavior that indicates that a player is at risk of developing gambling problems.

When concerning behavior is identified, the operator is obligated to take effective steps to address this, and to prevent the exacerbation of existing or developing problems. Operators must retain evidence that the relevant policies and procedures were followed, and a record of any investigations conducted, the decisions made, and any responsible gaming player interactions undertaken."

On Riseofbets.com, I registered with the same personal details (email, date of birth, name, etc.) that had already been reported to L.C.S Limited multiple times for self-exclusion (see separate email, which I am willing to send). Therefore, it is incomprehensible why I was allowed to be active on Riseofbets.com.

Given that L.C.S Limited has disregarded my self-exclusion multiple times, it appears to be intentionally ignoring it.

This would appear to be a deliberate act, which exacerbates the allegations against Riseofbets.com and L.C.S Limited and could even constitute a criminal offense.

Due to the fact that in the past, the central email address of L.C.S Limited (info@lcsltdeu.com) was contacted regarding my gambling addiction and desire for exclusion, all activities on the Riseofbets.com website are invalid.

I request the immediate cancellation of all transactions on Riseofbets.com. The email (separate email) proves that I had requested a permanent self-exclusion from the central body of L.C.S Limited before registering on Riseofbets.com.

I ask for your support in demanding repayment of the losses amounting to 2,350 Euros.


Best regards,

Dear KKK2023,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem.

Based on the rules of the MGA license, players' accounts would be suspended across the entire platform if the reason for the self-exclusion was gambling addiction.

"(4) Any exclusion implemented in terms of this article shall be offered:

(b) Across all the means by which the B2C licensee provides its services, and, optionally, but not alternatively to the latter, across one or more websites and, or one or more remote means.

Provided further that, in the event that a player has been excluded by the B2C

licensee in light of sufficient reasons which indicate that the player may have problem gambling issues, that player shall be excluded across all brands operated by the B2C licensee"

Could you please send me the email requesting self-exclusion from the casinos operating under L.C.S Limited? If you requested to be self-excluded from any specific casinos from this group, please forward me these email requests as well. My email address is veronika.l@casino.guru.

Have you informed Rise of Bets about your addiction and requested to be self-excluded from this casino as well?

Could you please confirm if you passed the full KYC verification?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards

Veronika

Thank you for your emails. However, you have not provided me with any self-exclusion requests that you sent directly to any of the casinos belonging to LCS Limited. Please understand that we are only able to assist players with refunds of their lost deposits when we have solid evidence of a permanent self-exclusion request due to gambling problems that has not been honored by the casino. Do you have any emails or chat transcripts with customer support of any of the casinos belonging to LCS Limited?

I don't understand the objection. I sent proof.

A copy of my email dated 29.06.2024, which was sent to support@riseofbets.com and info@lcsltdeu.com went. Information was provided here about gambling addiction. So you have proof.

When you sent your email to L.C.S Limited back in December 2023, did you receive any response?

Are you self-excluded due to gambling addiction in any other of their brands?
